[Synthetic Undead Arising]

like the choice of sounds wish the song had more structure
0.35 sounds vary interesting
like the breakdown near 132
drum samples are nice but not fitting to the lead
r4r~~

Lich responds:

That's all good and well but could you actually suggest how your opinion of a better 'structure' would be? Why would you describe the percussion use as 'not fitting' to the arpeggio lead and not tell me why?

[Zelda; Gerudo Valley - Remix]

OKAYSSSSSSSSSSS first off i just started a remix of this song :p now for the review~~~
sounds like
0-08 kick needs to be changed to give more punch
0-24 leads not loud enough
0-30 both leads mix dont mix and sound to plane/
0-39 the sounds dont fit well here to much things happening
0-57 drops good pads sound to loud (or intros to quite more likely)
2-00 really long work up its nice but long the kicks herehave a prob where they dont mix well with the bass
you should put them in a mixer if not already there add a peak controler then on ur pads add something like a lbp and automate the mixing of the lbp to the peak of the peak controler

this will quite the pads when the kicks hit and if u tune it right so its just the bass it gives ur kicks alot more punch over overlying bass should be done with most stuff can also use this trick to make gate ish sounding parts
2-23 sounds like there is a off note
2 37 needs more of a break of emptyniss
2 40 parts dont have flow here needs rythem over all guitar sounds are nice
325 lfo gated sounds sound like they want to go higher pitch but are stoped
3 40 random much ? not sure whats with this part or how it links to the pad parts agen
430 im at the point of confuseon of the random sounds :p and the how i got here it sounds like i went to next another song :p
alot of nice sounds threwout the song and alot of lil stuffs wrong with it :p hope this helps and if u wanna know how to do anything i use fl also with hd nexus and ni massive
should check out my other songs :p

trunotfals responds:

WOW thanks for the great feedback, extremely specific. As I said I am learning and most of that and the abbreviations you are using i dont know what they stand for. i use FL studio with Harmor mainly, and could use a little bit more experiance. Everything is on the mixer board. Most everything is eq'ed on the mixer as well. Message me this was A LOT of help.

[Leather Line Dance]

keep in mind for this review i dont prefer this style of song. and i dont listen to lyrics .
flow of song is good but doset have enough change in it so it gets bland to me
would prob like this alot better with better quality sounds and recording but mics cost alot for good ones

intros nice i feel like the kick used in this song dosent fit well in the mix eqing and pannings off to me

piano is a little awk at times
224 when the vocs come in there shoulda been a brake with lyrics to bring them in would help to brake the melodys
keep in mind when ur working with lyrics and melodys that the words / notes that are not there are just as impotent as the ones are there

none of this is ment to be harsh :p
mostly feel like this song just needs polishing

Kwing responds:

I see what you mean with me not switching up the flow here. I wrote this quite a while ago and only got to recording it more recently. Back when I made this, my focus was primarily on punchlines, decent rhymes, and a lot of condensed information which came at the cost of looking polished. Though, to a certain extent, I wanted my delivery to be consistent and unrelenting to express the apathy evident in the track.

Also: "and i dont listen to lyrics" Dude, WHAT? Why did you even bother listening? I mean, I think this is a good review and I still consider 4/5 to be positive, but why the heck did you sit through four and a half minutes of this if you weren't concerned with what I was saying? I'm mad confused.

[The Human Dreamweaver vs Deplo]

to much reverb
instraments sound like they could be clearer
there is no bass that i can hear with headphones
melody is nice
and song structure is good
i honistly would love to play around with this XD

AyzanNightbane responds:

Thanks for the review. It's one of the few times I decided to alter my usual arrangement style. I'll keep working to improve my musical style and I hope I can make even better sounds in the future. About playing around with it; sure, knock yourself out. But don't forget me. ;)

[Peace After Death]

really good for improvised :p would like it to be louder

CGA-999 responds:

Thank you! I thought it sounded good relatively soft, but I guess others would like it louder, and I really do value others' opinions, so I will make pieces that are more loud.

["Shadow's Blade" - Intro]

this is really good let me start by saying that
eq work needs touches
intro sounds need to be a tad quiter
work up sound before 25 is to loud also
39 hi hights to loud
39 theres drum hits that need to be louder (the hits that hit on the beat)
1 00 drums need to change rythem a bit more then they do
1 24 this was done perfectly
127 sword sharpening sound needs a tiny bit of eqs to bring out the sound
1 38 need to lower the sound slightly (still louder then the rest )
thats all i think is wrong with this song witch is not much really
r4r :p
hope this helps this songs really good

XayberOptix responds:

Thanks for the granular review! I'll consider all these points when I revisit this tune. :)

[Japaneast West]

i think this would be really awesome with some really grimey bass and harder drums then agen it would sound alot like gunmetal black
after 1 10 it takes a vary intresting turn not sure how i fill about this part

abrasounds responds:

Grimey bass, hm? Yeah, good idea, thanks!
Gonna try making these changes in the future. :D

Thank you for the review!

[Parallel and Simultaneous]

okays so overall this songs really well done
a few things bother me tho the songs drums are a bit low fi and need to be slightly eqed to bring out the sound a little bit
the saqs lead is a bit louder then everything and feels to loud to me
the ambient starts really nice but when it gets faster it sounds happyer tone
but the background synth is darker and grimey witch gives u this off set sorta filling
sorry about the grammer and trypos hope the review helps

abrasounds responds:

Hey there!
Thanks for pointing me those things. Now that you say I can notice that the sax is a bit too loud, I might lower the volume a little.
I only disagree on the drums thing, I think that the lofi drums glue with the song quite well. But it's just a case of taste.

I'll try to work on the points you've said. Thanks a lot for listening and making a review! :D

[Joyzer]

there is lots of stuff that bothers me in this song
first thing is it dosent sound like it fallows a key or anything just a bunch of random notes
the glitces dont seem to match up with a tempo so its odd
around 3 mins it changes compleatly and dosent fit
the melody sounds good around 4 mins but the background is vary off
theres a few kicks at the start that sound like there cliping or vary muffeld
i do like the instraments used in this song as a hole but i fill like there is a detuned saw that dosent fit well
hope u dont take the massive amount of spelling errers to badlv im only doing this to try and help :p

Daru925 responds:

I'll choose useful feedback over grammar any day. Thank you!

[|R|Chaos of Space]

i dont have my headphones on but it dosent seem to have much bass . i do like how it sounds vary analog tho melodys are nice wish the kicks had a bit more punch to it o.o

Radiationator responds:

Yeah, this song kind of lacks in bass. I started it a long time ago and got it stuck in my head, so I never could come up with a good bass part.

Thanks for the review :)
